Own Hand

Directed by Rodrigo Patiño

Three stories intersect in a brutal lynching that occurred on June 1, 2013 in a town in the Bolivian tropics. Mario Vega, a prosecutor attached to judicial processes, tries to prevent the lynching of five young people from Villa Nogales, unjustly accused of stealing a truck. Miguel, the father, and Adrián, one of the young accused, join Mario to star in this story, which portrays what happens in many places in Bolivia, where "justice by one's own hands" claims many lives.
